Horrors! 365 Scary Stories – A Full Year of Horror

03/11/2017 – 03/17/2017

The horror short-short isn’t easy to master, but more than 100 of the genre’s critically acclaimed authors & hottest up-&-comers have taken a stab at it in Horrors! 365 Scary Stories, an anthology that contains a short tale for every day of the year. Steve Rasnic Tem, Wm F. Nolan, Tom Piccirilli, Yvonne Navarro, Peter Atkins, Brian Hodge, Martin Mundt & 166 others give you short, sharp shocks.

The mind that created Freddy Kruger (Nightmare on Elm Street) is dead. Freddy Kruger is one of the things that shaped my childhood. I hold him personally responsible for installing insomnia in me early on. I hold him responsible for my fear of waterbeds (because even now, I *know* Kruger’s gonna come up through it and slice me the minute I fall asleep.)

Even once I got older, I still love the Kruger movies. I can definitely see the camp, where as before they were just freaking scary, but they’re still awesome. These movies terrified me, so naturally they hold a special place in my mind.

Even better, is whenever you saw pictures of this guy (like the one above) do you see ANY inkling of that twisted mind? I don’t. He looked like a cool grandpa.

And the dude that started the whole nightmare…is dead.

Well, that just sucks.

I hope Mr. Craven’s family finds peace and comfort swiftly.
